THE NORTH CAROLINA WITNESS
ES VERSUS VIRGINIA HISTORI
ANS. -; . v .
Before we close our -discussion wf
must once more call the attention of
the readers of the Star' to""lBecon
test over the third day's fight at Get
tysbnrg. Pollard, McCabe, Swinton
and Taylor have aU, ftreated of . this
fight, and have doue North Carolina
flagrant injustice. Those of the Vir-j
ginia papers that have' noticed the
contest sustain Taylor, the latest wri
ter, and to some extent the other wrii
ters named, in their misrepresenta-i
tidn of facts. They are doing what
they can to plage our gallant North;
Carolinians in a false position before
the world. , They may jbe very sin-?
cere in all this, but that dees not dbj
away with the grievous wrong done,
but rather increases and intensifies it.5

WHAT . M A J OK G EN EE AL tEIMBLE SAYS, j
He is a Mqryiander andcommand-i
ed v Pender's division after lie: was;
wounded. He published the follow-!
ing in Our Living and Our Dead:
' 'It might with as much truth be said that
Pettigrew and Trimble failed in their;
charge, because unsupported by Pickett, :
who had been driven back in the crisis of their;
charge and was no aid to them. ' ...
Ho one acquainted with the facts can for a
moment doubt the intrepidity of Pickett's'
men; they did all that any men could do
under the circumstances, but others did as
well, went asfar or further, fought longer,
and lost as .heavily. The simple truth is
that Pickett's, Pettigrew's and Trimble's ;
divisions were literally shot to pieces, and
the small remnants who broke the first Fe-

I looked again to our right for the effect of
Pickett's charge, but could see nothing but

WHAT BRIGh GEN. JAMES II. LANB SA YS.
This gallant officer is a Virginian.
He commanded a North Carolina
brigade in the third day's fight, as he
did in twenty ' other1 battles. He
says: '-'.; ; 0 v f r;;
"My command never moved forward
more handsomely, "' The men reserved their
fire in accordance with orders, until within
good range of the enemy, and then opened
with telling effect, repeatedly driving the
cannoniers from their places completely
silencing the guns in our immediate front,
and breaking the line of infantry which
was formed on the crest of the hill. We
advanced to within a few yards of the stone
wall exposed all the while to a heavy rak
ing artillery fire' from the right. The left
was here very much exposed, and a column
of infantry was thrown forward in . that
direction, which enfiladed my whole line'.
This forced me to withdraw my brigade,
thetroops oa my right having already done

i his gentleman was Adjutant ien
al of Pendens division and was I in

the fight he describes. He, fwaa an
eye-witness, which Col. Taylor ' was
not. He is a native Mississippiai.
He says: " : ' " " : j
"The point at which the troops with me
struck the enemy's work projected farthest
to the front, and consequently we were the
first to reach them. I recollect well, my
horse having been shot, I leaned my elbow
upon one of the guns of the enemy to test,
while I watched with painful anxiety the
tight upon Pickett's extreme right, for upon
its success depended the lenableness of our
position. Surrounding' me were the sol
diers of Pender's, Heth's and Pickett's di
visions, and it required all the resources at'
my command to prevent their following en
masse the retreating enemy, and some did
go so far that, when we, were compelled to
withdraw, they were unable to' reach our
liDes, the enemy closing in from the right
and left We remained in quiet, and un
disputed possession of the enemy's works
.for a full half hour, the men, flushed: with ,
victory, eager to press forward. But when
the right of Pickett's division was compelled
by the overpowering attack upon its right
flank to give way, the heroism which had
driven back everything in its . way, being
unable to withstand the natural barriers
which protected the attacking force on the
flank, there was nothing left for us to do
but to surrender ourselves v as prisoners,
which was much the safest course, or with
draw in confusion before the converging
lines of the enemy, those in our immediate
front not having rallied. ; Our lceidnr;the
retreat was greater than on the advance,
but we retreated i good-order.". . . . j :
WHAT CAPT. BANDOIJPH A.: SHOTWJJI.&
SAYS.
We believe he is a Virginian ;by
birth. At any rate he was a captain
in the 8th Virginia regiment, and was1
in Pickett's division in4 the charge!
He certainly knows more aBout khat

off by a Tennesseean, showing how the two
States were mixed in the fray. Ihinking
the North Carolinians liad secured a lodgment
on tfie crest, I picked up a musket and start
ed to move towards the left. But on firing
the gun (which probably had three charges
rammed down one upon the other, which
was common in the excitement of battle) it
kicked so violently as to nearly cause me to
turn a summersault. When I recovered
myself the enemy ,was pouring a 1 terrible
volley into the retreating Confederates, and
all was over. Farther to: the left Lane's and
Scales' North Carolina brigades were strug

were not discernable from the point!, oc

Thus far the witnesses are from
other Sta'tes We have already pub
lished what Capt. Mclntire and Lieut.
White have said. They, tell, pretty
much the same credible and credita
ble story that is. told by the other
witnesses. They are all agreed as to
the important fact the one point in
dispute that the North. Carolina
troops on that day fought, as hard,
went as far and exhibited as conspic
uous courage as did that part of Pick

of the Russian generalship in Bulga
ria, and he says the Russian soldiers
have fougnt admirably both'iu Asia
.Minor and ' in Europe. Tliey : havie
had more troops than -the Turks, and
still they have failed of success. To
our civilian eyes the main causes of
failure are.these: ,
First. They neglected to seize in
the beginning imortant posts and
fortify them properly.' j
Second. They i have scattered tiieir
forces over too vast an area. ' . !
Third. They ' havd attempted nn--possibilities-
